hotchkis chassis brace and strut on a V6 ?

[cterry]

That Chassis brace video is very impressive. Really shows the movement before and after the brace. Going to have to add that to the list.

I might do the same. I wish you guys would stop getting these things that work lol!

Actually I spoke too soon the endlinks are back to their noisy self at this point I dont know what to think, is this the way hotchkis endlinks are or do I have defective ones .....ill be taking it back one last time, after that im done trying, too much time off work to be going back and forth

well I highly recommend the brace and strut bar ... the endlinks however I would hold off until Hotchkis finds a solution to the annoying noise they make over every bump

Yeah I was afraid of that Oh well, we'll see.Leo, did they time your bushings also?. Hotchkis didn't think it was needed if car is lowered correctly, but the bushings will still be "out of position" and said to then wear more by others. Mine seems not to have any problems with ride so maybe they did anyway.

I don't know Rick but you know how its been hell with me getting the right suspension setup since day one when I had the eibachs installed, but this car is my wife so trough thick and thin I gotta stick by her side

Leonardo - Your Camaro looks awesome! Thanks for choosing our products for your project. Did you have to modify the engine cover to get the strut tower brace to fit?

We definitely don't hide the fact that our Heavy Duty End Links make more noise than stock. Some drivers are more in tune with the sound. We offer these because some drivers are going to push their cars hard enough to damage the easily bendable stock end links. The front suspension end links make more noise due to the extra turning articulation. We use heavy duty aircraft style rod ends, which work really well for on track use but are a little noisier than a stock endlink. We have another solution coming that will quiet things down… stay tuned.

Thank you ...... I dont believe there was any modification needed to make the strut tower fit, you might want to ask Corey, he installed it

I will be anxiously waiting for that solution to quiet things down, because I truly love my Hotchkis track pack and would hate to switch endlinks
